Those optic illusions are pretty cool! I've seen another video of that stuff before.

Rockette said
I've been thinking about making an account over there, I haven't committed yet to the entire idea.

Hmm, I might actually reconsider my choices. There isn't much of an 'advanced' scene over there as there is here. Their idea of 'advanced' is casual, at best, here.

Anyway, I love your new avatar+signature combination. Fabulous setup. Whenever you have the time, would you be so pretty to make me a similar, 'Asian-inspired' signature with the awesome Bruce Lee quote that I have in my signature at the moment? I will love you forever, 100 years, as Ex would say.

*Happens to glance at the date the thread was made* !!! *Le Gasp* Six months!? As in half a year?


Happy six months anniversary (mensiversary?) TSW!


@Prisk: Or perhaps this is an opportunity to make the first “super-advanced” RP in RpNation :D

[Rockette]

Damn it has been six months!
That's pretty amazing, for a role play and for those still remaining with us, I can say this is the first I've been with in a long time that has made it this far! :D
Great job for everyone!

Anyways Prisk I'll make one for you! I don't mind at all since it's a new style I wanted to try, I'd be thrilled to get some practice in. :3

With RpNation though, I can't think of any other forum that might have an "advanced" section on like what you'd find here. Or as JJ says, you could bring the concept over to there? There are tons of forums on the interwebs, but the Guild is the biggest I've come across.

On another note I have a rather relaxing day tomorrow, since I managed to pull in hours before hand, so I'll be writing responses and a battle post for Mags.

[Mirandae]

Six months? Oh, goodness me! All of you deserve many, many kisses and hugs!




Ex would love that second gif, I hope he sees it sometime!

@Rockette, thank you darling!

Well, RpNation has 'advanced' tags along with 'intermediate' and 'novice', which is the same as our segregation. But, most of the 'advanced' writing is on par with our 'casual', although some 'advanced' are actually advanced. RpNation is far superior in activity and I think they have just as many members, or even more, than the guild. However, the people at RpNation seems to be, generally, younger and most of them are into dice rolling and stuff like that. But, honestly, I don't know what the hell my problem is or why I insist on bitching about things; might as well just stay here.

Pinterest is the best thing ever. I use it to find concept art, and ponchos! I love ponchos. Might be because my dad wore them when I was younger, when he was alive; he had quite a selection of native American/cowboy-themed ponchos, which were beautiful. I'm going to have Olivia receive a poncho from some old lady that farmers' outpost!

[Rockette]

Well I guess every site will have its pros and cons against what we're really looking for, unless you're one of the few who try and start their own using whatever engine is available. I can see the attraction of RPNation, I'm still debating on joining just for the sake of another community and comparing the two, as I'm sure they have a bit more to coding threads and what have you. But the generally younger crowd is a tad discouraging, for the sake of like mindedness. xD

I have rarely gotten on Pinterest myself! Though I know plenty of others who spend hours scrolling through it, I find myself doing that on Tumblr, though some of the things I come across, geezus.

Anyways, slowing writing here, my migraine from earlier prevented me from wanting to stare at my screen for an hour or so...

[Mirandae]

@Rockette, migraines are the worst. My mother gets them. Luckily enough, I was spared.

I want to close this roleplay. I said and promised that I wouldn't, but the few of you who are left and active have to agree with me that it would be for the best. Most participants have disappeared, more than half that are left are semi- to inactive, and we can't recruit new players because of my mistake with the story.

I don't want to brutally just end things without your consent, so this should be a decision that everyone is on board with. If this ends, however, I can devote this time to finishing up the planning and stuff for The Spirits Within 2. So, whoever has gotten hooked on this can still get their fix!

Surely, some things will feel wasted, time and effort, but I think that we will waste even more if we continue with this.

[JJ Doe]

That is… quite unfortunate, but I do understand. I do not have the heart to force you to stay when you want something else. As I have previously said, I will help you out with ideas, if you need it. I may need to fanfic this to complete Kim’s story, for my sake, since I think it is unlikely I will use his back-story in another story and I put too much into it to just let it go to waste. I hope you won’t mind, Prisk.

[Rockette]

I'm with JJ on this one, it's terribly unfortunate, beyond such that a fantastic story like this did not come to completion. I'm on the line of whether or not I'm willing to let this go but much like JJ said, we cannot force your decision otherwise. I'm reluctant to admit with more than half of the original cast gone, be it by life circumstances or just relative inactivity, that'd it be pushing and forcing the story to continue on and stretching out various scenes for the sake of hoping some might come back to us would be an insult to the entire plot line. I too will probably be "fanficing" with JJ to finish out Mags' story, as the entire length of it and the work of such wouldn't carry on to another story and I doubt I'd have the heart to try and put her into something else, TSW made her what she is and everyone within it!

I can say, gladly, that I believe I progressed a little as a writer, learning to write more naturally and fluently rather than trying for some fantastic prose! And making graphics for the story was fun and I'd do it again for you all!

Without a doubt I'll be addicted to the entire TSW universe and help out as well in anyway I can, in which I'll be picking back up and will follow you in whichever story you decide to do next, Prisk!

On another note, met some fantastic people here and can gladly say we, who remain, stuck to the final end of it all.

[Mirandae]

Okay, good enough for me. Then we're putting this to rest.

Thanks to everyone who participated, thanks for the memories! You can always contact me whenever you want.
